Multiply by DivisionWe often want to gather resources before we serve God, not divide up the little we have. The lesson video and the questions that follow challenge this thinking.

Asking Instead of TellingJesus asked people questions—in the gospels over 300 of his questions are recorded. Because of these questions,
Jesus heard people’s stories, which is what we need to hear in order to build relationships with others. This lesson gives
practical help in asking good questions.

Up, In, OutTo live like Jesus, you should have relationships that are up (with God), in (with people in the church), and out(with people outside the church). In this lesson, you will think about which of these directions is most natural for you and which is hardest.

The Engagement ContinuumMaking disciples is impossible if you don’t engage people. How are you doing with getting to know people beyond your family and your church? This lesson will give you a tool for thinking about your levels of engagement.

Kingdom Investment
God doesn’t measure kingdom involvement by busyness or importance of position. God cares about the bent of your heart toward the kingdom. Given that definition, how invested are you? A graph in this lesson will help you think about this.

Multiply with the Highest Power
In heaven you will worship with thousands upon thousands of people from every tribe and nation. The lesson video explores how you bring a little of heaven to earth by meeting people from different tribes and nations.
